LOL the frenchmen are a bit too, um, cocky to hug without feeling a bit concerned. That and now they hate us anyway.

Then again, we did free them from the Germans in the 1940s. (with some valuable help from the Brits, for certain.)

And I thought the quotation was to be born italian.....at least, according to the esteemed Jeremy Clarkson

Come to think of it, I'm partly French. Maybe I should give my wine drinking ancestor a hug

Wow, India. That's a land of opprotunity.
